While the hills and mountainous regions register the highest stunting rates (42.3%), the plain area of the south, called Terrai, have the highest levels of wasting (15.8% versus a national average of 11.3%) and anemia (55.1% versus a national average of 46.4% for children and 51.6% versus 35% for women aged 15-49). Unusual heavy rainfall from 13 to 15 August 2014, triggered severe flash floods and landslides resulting in 256 deaths, and 255 people missing in 42 of the 75 districts across the country, particularly in the Terrai. Among these, Bardiya, Banke, Surkhet and Dang in the Mid-Western Development Region have been the worst affected districts. Several UN agencies and development partners undertook an Initial Rapid Assessment (IRA) in the affected districts. Following the request from the Government, WFP started an Immediate Response Emergency Operation (IR-EMOP 200763) to provide emergency food rations to meet the immediate food and nutritional needs of 80,000 people in Bardiya, Banke, Surkhet and Dang districts.

These ratings include the rating of [ICRANP] LB@ (pronounced ICRA NP L B) assigned to the company’s long-term loans and the rating of [ICRANP] A4@ (pronounced ICRA NP A four) assigned to the company’s short-term loans (including non-fund based limits). Rationale The ratings for Tara have been placed on watch with negative implications, given the expected impact of Covid-19 on the Nepalese tourism sector and hence the domestic aviation sector. The initially assigned ratings drew comfort from the Government initiatives in celebrating 2020 as a Visit Nepal Year which has been cancelled recently, amid the global coronavirus outbreak. The outbreak resulted in a marginal decline in tourist arrivals in January-February 2020, with a sharp decline expected in the months to follow.

Managing director of Sita Air, Rajendra Singh, says, “We in Nepal are in our fourth week of lockdown now with the [looming] possibility of an extension, but STOL operators like us are still busy in the mountains with relief e˛orts.” “The Ministry of Health has tasked us with Ùying medics to rural and mountain regions. These regions have limited healthcare facilities and are short of the manpower needed for widespread [COVID-19] testing. The immediate need is testing, not just of likely infections, but also for random sampling to help the health authorities better understand the geographic spread of the virus,” he says.
